Important Information About this system R R This system is an auxiliary system; it is not designed to provide complete protection from property loss. Panasonic will not be held responsible in the event that property loss occurs while this system is in operation. R The system’s wireless features are subject to interference, therefore functionality in all situations cannot be guaranteed.
Important Information R Keep the sensor range caps out of the reach of children. There is a risk of swallowing. In the event they are swallowed, seek medical advice immediately. R Never put metal objects inside the product. If metal objects enter the product, turn off the circuit breaker and contact an authorised service centre. Preventing accidents and injuries R The safety wire must be used when mounting the product. There is a risk of injury if the product falls.
Important Information the product and hub in an indoor environment. – away from electronic appliances such as TVs, radios, personal computers, wireless devices, or other phones. – facing away from radio frequency transmitters, such as external antennas of mobile phone cell stations. (Avoid putting the hub on a bay window or near a window.) R If the reception for a hub location is not satisfactory, move the hub to another location for better reception.

Installation Location Wireless communication range The wireless communication range of each device in the system from the hub is approximately 50 m indoors and approximately 300 m outdoors. Wireless communication may be unreliable when the following obstacles are located between the hub and other devices.
Installation Location Detection range Visual sensor Infrared sensor Can detect motion anywhere in the visible image. Can detect motion only in part of the visible image (shown here in grey) R You can adjust the area detectable by the visual sensor. For more information, refer to the User’s Guide (page 26). R You can adjust the area detectable by the infrared sensor. See “Adjusting the infrared sensor range”, page 22. R Detection does not occur when there are obstacles in front of the infrared sensor.
Installation Location Direction of motion It is easier to detect objects that move sideways in front of the camera, and more difficult to detect objects that move directly toward the front of the camera. A B C D A It is difficult to detect movement directly towards the front of the camera. B It is easy to detect movement sideways in front of the camera. C Detection range D Camera 10 HNC600AZ_(en_en)_0325_ver.040.
Installation Location Installation location examples I want to detect visitors approaching the house Refer to the table below for detecting visitors at an entrance or gate without detecting cars in the street. Ideal example Poor example 1 1 Approx. 3 m Visitors pass in front of the camera from side to side, cars in the street are less likely to cause false detections. Cars in the street are more likely to cause false detections. 11 HNC600AZ_(en_en)_0325_ver.040.
Installation Location I want to detect people entering the garage Refer to the table below for detecting people entering a garage without detecting cars in the street. Ideal example Poor example Visitors pass in front of the camera from side to side, cars in the street are less likely to cause false detections. R To prevent faces from being obscured by tall vehicles, adjust the installation position and angle of the camera. Cars in the street are more likely to cause false detections.
Installation Location Do not install in these locations Installing in the following areas may cause deformation, discolouration, malfunction, or operational failure R In direct sunlight or directly under an outdoor light (even if the surroundings are within operational temperature range, parts of the product may become hot) R Areas subject to frequent vibration, shock, or impact R Near fire, heating devices, magnetic fields (such as near magnets), or air conditioners (including outdoor equipment such as un
Installation Location R Areas affected by breezes from fans, air conditioning unit compressors, water heaters, or car exhaust (severe temperature variations may cause false detections) R Areas subject to severe weather, such as strong wind (camera shake can cause false detections) or rain (strong rain may be detected as an object moving in front of the camera).
Setup Part names and functions H G I Indicator Status Red, blinking Live images are being viewed or recorded Red, blinking quickly Camera is out of range of the hub, or device malfunction Amber, blinking Camera is not registered to a hub *1 J A B CD E You can configure the camera so that its LED indicator does not light during normal operation. For more information, refer to the User’s Guide (page 26).
Setup Registration button This procedure is not required for devices that were included as part of a bundle. Before you can use the camera, it must be registered to the hub. If the camera is not registered to a hub, the camera’s LED indicator blinks in amber. You can register each device by using the registration buttons or the [Home Network] app. Note: R Before registering the camera, make sure the AC adaptors of the hub and camera are connected and each device is powered.
Setup Wall material information Installation Siding Installation precautions R Do not install the camera on a ceiling. R Holes must be made in the wall for cables and wires to pass through. Panasonic takes no responsibility for issues related to opening holes in walls. R Make sure to waterproof the holes you make in the wall. R Make sure you attach the safety wire to prevent the camera from falling. R Do not use an impact driver. (This may lead to damaged screws or over-tightening.
Setup Ideal example Structure supports exterior surface 4 2 Insert the screw and tighten it. 2 2 Camera mounting stand ALC (autoclaved lightweight cellular concrete) 1 1 Siding 2 Structure behind siding Concrete R Do not use the included screws. Use screw anchors (screw ø: 4 mm) designed for concrete walls. R Carefully read the instructions supplied with the anchors. Follow instructions regarding drill bit diameter, hole depth, etc. R Drill a pilot hole.
Setup Installing the camera 1 Attach the safety wire to the camera. R Place the ring of the safety wire (A) over the screw hole. R Place a washer (B) on top of the ring of the safety wire. R Tighten the screw (C) for the safety wire on top of the washer. Note: R Use the following template below when determining the location of the screw holes. 37 mm 37 mm 3 2 2 1 Attach the camera mounting stand to an outdoor wall. R Secure the stand to the wall by tightening 4 screws (A).
